TERROR PLOT - Coverage

ITV rolling news team goes into action

For about an hour BBC America was simulcasting BBC World which in turn simulcasted N24. I'm sure glad they thwarted the plot.

DOes anybody have any caps of the rolling ITV?

Yes, here.

Call me old-fashioned, but surely ITV News should be crowing about how they reported it first during the Morning News, when they were the only terrestrial channel on air when the story broke between 0530 and 0600. Rather than blithering on about their lack of a news channel.

Unless of course the Morning News failed to report this minor story.........

I've been very impressed with all of the media's coverage of the event today.

Nice to see what the ITV News Channel would have looked like.

I like the graphics, and It really is interesting to see what the news channel would of looked like. The ticker looks a bit naff though.

UTV Live were using this God-awful thing in the top left corner throughout the whole bulletin at lunchtime:

And they have set up an e-mail address for viewers to send in their questions for tonight's edition!

I'm sure that's breaching some sort of broadcasting code

Bless they think they're Sky

A slogan of a radio station on-screen throughout the broadcast? Yep, probably. Unless of course 105.8FM is owned by the same folks as UTV?

Are UTV still taking ITV News' old graphics?

Well sort of. It's not exactly the same but it's similar!
